Critics Consensus

As challenging as it is rewarding, Mommy finds writer-director Xavier Dolan taking another impressive step forward.

4.5/5

The cinematic frame might have contracted, but there's a kind of ferocious compassion in Dolan's vision, and its embrace is startlingly wide.

3.5/5

Dolan loves close-ups and he gives his actors every chance to demonstrate their talent for ringing the emotional changes in a single take.

4/5

Dorval and Clément are both exceptional, their brilliantly controlled performances contrasting with the explosive energy of rising star Pilon, who looks set to burst out of the screen and into the auditorium.

The final act of this film is simply some of the best filmmaking I saw in all of 2015...

3/5

Mommy ratifies Dolan's immense talent, his ability to intensely direct actors and his tireless creativity, but also his capriciousness and superfluous aesthetic, which often make him lose focus of what is essential. [Full review in Spanish]

...for all of Steve's livewire energy, the hero of Mommy is never in doubt. Anne Dorval is simply amazing as the indomitable Die...

Another great film from Xavier Dolan, paired with an amazing performance from Anne Dorval. Great script a little bit similar to previous Dolan's films, but a great film overall.

Increíble como Dolan muestra un juego con los momentos felices de la trama.

A sentimental and often difficult watch, 'Mommy' gave me pause to admire the roles and responsibilities of a parent in the face of challenges that would drive many to madness and violence, including possibly myself. Its depiction of mental issues are also relatively unglamorized, as far as I can tell, to the point that there are few redeeming or uplifting outcomes as a result.

Harsh and hard. Good movie, but it's a punch in the gut.
